So soon, Big companies began opening research centres all over the place, Making Xeno hives to study... In most cases the Xenomorphs would escape and ravage nearby colonies, reclaiming the planet from the ponies.
Pretty soon the Xenos began to find their way onto the pony's transport ships and travel to different worlds as stowaways to wreak their havoc on other colonies.
Princess's Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Twilight sparkle, ordered the creation of the Equestrian Marine Corps to protect colonies from the Xenomorphs and sometimes against the Corporations aswell.
